I've been using an ivtv card for a while so I'm a bit rusty on this.
From what I remember this stems from the fact that tvtime uses a
separate it's own createChannelsLookupTables function instead of using
the freq.py file like the rest of the tv plugins. There's no way to use
two different sets of channels. I hacked the tvtime plugin a long time
ago to use freq.py and from what I remember I got it working but I could
be wrong. If you're stuck I can try dig out that copy and post it for
you to continue work on. It really should be patched to use freq.py and
if you can do it that would be great. One other method might be to just
use mplayer as your tv player but try the following option;
# For pal and dvb-t recordings, the following looks good
MPLAYER_VF_INTERLACED = 'pp=md/de,phase=U'
Now I just checked the list and saw your next post so I guess this is
irrelevant :)

Haven't tried that feature so I'm not sure.
